Following up the massive success of Raindear’s single “Howl”, the Swedish singer-songwriter-producer Raindear now releases her monumental and compelling single “Rush” today, distributed via Aloaded. With lush, sonic landscapes intertwining heartfelt lyrics, the single is a ravishingly raw, focused, and powerful song that critiques towards those people who just seem to not understand the never-ending struggle of an artist’s dream. Giving voice to the unsung heroes that shape our world through their art and the sacrifices that they endure, “Rush” is a song for all creatives that are in the same boat, choosing the sometimes-lonely lifestyle but still pushing onwards to make the world a better place with their art.
